In 2020 we launched an ambitious strategy that focused on narrowing the attainment gap for Key Stage 2 children across Bath and North East Somerset by 2030.
Through our Best Start in Life initiative, support is provided to children from birth to 12 years old to help them grow into healthy, happy educated members of our community. Interventions have been funded that directly work on improving educational outcomes as well as addressing children’s physical, behavioural, and emotional needs. The Best Start in Life initiative provides educational and mental health support to children in pre-school settings and primary schools. It also funds the distribution of food across the region via schools, food clubs and pantries.
